Is the Fontaine's song the theme tune for Moblands? Taht makes sense, Pierce Brosnan plays the head mob guy and he's Irish... great show if you haven't watched it. The second one, jesus, the opening riff reminds me a bit of this - classic early
80's Australian tune:

For the Australian alternative scene, probably as famous as Teenage Kicks - John Peel loved that if I can recall right. It's got the same melodic/catchy feel to it I reckon.
